F.Y.I.

Management has been saying that only 4% of our shipments go to Purchase Transports which is less then what Union carriers uses. Which they say that under the "Master Freight Contract" is 25%.This is once again misinformation to keep you from knowing the truth. So here is what the contract says:

Pages 42 and 43 talk about limits on Purchase transportion. Which is used when all possible work is covered by company Members First.

our man(wizard)behind the curtain is Fred Smith,except he doesn't hide behind a curtain.Why?We don't have a Teamsters contract to protect us from the excesses of the wizard.Like Dorothy and her friends we're learning the hard way that WE can fight the wizard but not alone.That's why we need a Teamsters contract to protect us.

Here we go with the Fedex management taking more advantage of the employees. The management keeps taking their health benefits, taking away contributions to their 401k's, taking hours away from full timers, and taking runs away from Fedex drivers basically subcontracting the work out from underneath them. Isn't this the same thing Fedex Ground has been doing for years??? It is way past due for Fedex to be organized. The Teamsters Union is the only way for Fedex employees to get a fair shake and be able to bargain a contract to secure their jobs with a binding Teamster contract. A Union would help these employees so much and it would help curtail the lies Fedex speaks of misleading the employees aking the employees work under the shadow of fear and suppression.

SO WHERE IS THE UNION AND HOW COME ITS TAKING SO LONG TO GET THIS TOGETHER. ALL WE HEAR IS THE TEAMSTERS ARE HERE BUT NO ONE SEEMS TO KNOW ANYTHING ON THE NIGHT SHIFT OR ANY SHIFT FOR THAT MATTER. LETS DO THIS OR STOP WASTING OUR TIME BECAUSE WE ARE ABOUT TO SAY NO. IF THE TEAMSTERS WANT US NOW IS THE TIME BROTHER WERE PISSED OFF. DONT WAIT UNTIL ALL THESE CHANGES ARE MADE AND FEDUP STARTS MAKING US HAPPY AGAIN YOUR STEAM IS RUNNING OUT SO BRING NOW OR DONT SAY WE DID NOT TELL YOU SO. UNHAPPY AT THE MOMENT.

OK LETS DO THIS AND GET BACK TO TRUCKING WITH THE TEAMSTERS LOGO ON OUR SHIRTS BUT HURRY IT UP BROTHERS AND SISTERS LETS MOVE THIS ALONG SO WE CAN GET BACK TO CUSTOMER RETENTION AND HAPPY TRAILS TO ALL.
